Then said Evangelist, stand still a little, that I may show thee the words of God. So he stood trembling. Then said Evangelist, see that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven. He said moreover, now the just shall live by faith, but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. He also did thus apply them, thou art the man that art running into this misery. Thou hast begun to reject the counsel of the most high, and to draw back thy foot from the way of peace, even almost to the hazarding of thy perdition. Then Christian fell down at his foot as dead, crying, Woe is me, for I am undone. At the sight of which, Evangelist caught him by the right hand, saying, All manner of sin and blasphemies shall be forgiven unto men. Be not faithless, but believing. Then did Christian again a little revived, and stood up trembling as at first before evangelist. Goodwill said, That mountain has been the death of many and will be the death of many more. It is well you escaped being by it dashed in pieces. Christian replied, Why, truly, I do not know what had become of me there had not evangelist happily met me again as I was musing in the midst of my dumps. But it was God's mercy that He came to me again, for else I had never come hither. But now I am come, such a one as I am more fit indeed for death by that mountain than thus to stand talking with my Lord. But oh, what a favor is this to me, that yet I am admitted entrance here? Goodwill said, you make no objections against any, notwithstanding all that they have done before they come hither. They are in no wise cast out, and therefore, good Christian, come a little way with me, and I will teach thee about the way thou must go. Look before thee, dost thou see this narrow way? That is the way thou must go. It was cast up by the patriarchs, prophets, Christ, and His apostles, and it is as straight as a rule can make it. This is the way thou must go.
